2026 NBA draft thread

[KillerLeft]

I was going to write the same thing but you articulated it better than I could have done 

Again none of us know and maybe the guards flop and Ament becomes a stud. 

However given what we  know currently there is a lot of hope and prayer hoping that Ament improves a lot on two things: His jump shot AND his finishing around the rim. If it was just one of these two things I would feel more comfortable.

Everyone and their brother knows I've been screaming "GUARD" into this forum for months. It's just starting to feel like the Mavs like some of the guards more than others, specifically the ones who won't fall to 9. There's even talk that Burries doesn't make it that far now. 

I like Flemings, and I don't know that Dallas doesn't, but there has been like nothing about him here, not even rumors. They've been loosely linked with Brown Jr, Acuff and Burries, but not really Flemings, and it's starting to feel to me like Flemings is the one who'll be there at 9, so...that's why I'm attempting to wrap my head around an Ament pick. 

I don't know how likely I think this is, but if he's Durant, Odom or, hell, even Rashard Lewis, that would be a score. Gotta assume that IF the Mavs draft him it's because Schmitz thinks he will be.
